Not everyone made it up the Met Gala steps.
On May 5, the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute event proceeded smoothly, yet several celebrities, some famous for their daring Met Gala outfits, were absent from the festivities.
It was anticipated that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce might grace the red carpet for the first time together at the “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” event. However, TopMob News received information just prior to the start of the event indicating that the couple would not be present.
In a similar vein, LeBron James, who was originally planned to serve as an honorary co-chair along with Colman Domingo, Pharrell Williams, Lewis Hamilton, and A$AP Rocky, regretfully declared on the day of the event that he would unfortunately be unable to attend.
On May 5th, he mentioned that due to a knee injury he got towards the end of the last season, he regrettably can’t make it to the Met Gala in New York tonight.
If you found yourself questioning where Sarah Jessica Parker was during the recent events, it’s because she announced prior that she wouldn’t be participating this year. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight on May 2nd, she explained, “I have to work.
Naomi Campbell also confirmed on Instagram that she would not be able to make it.
Naomi expressed her deep gratitude for being invited to the significant event on May 5th, but unfortunately won’t be able to attend. Despite her physical absence, she shares in the spirit of everyone present, symbolically representing them through the legacy of her cherished friend, the late Andre Leon Talley. His powerful influence, creative vision, and belief that fashion is an art form, are key elements shaping this year’s Met Gala presentation.
A pair, consisting of Olivia Rodrigo and Louis Partridge, who didn’t get their first appearance on the red carpet? This was the case as Olivia, who has previously attended the event in 2021, 2022, and 2023, chose to let Louis enjoy his individual moment when he made his debut at the Met.
Ariana Grande’s absence at the event could be explained by a packed schedule, as she has previously only attended this event on two occasions.
At the same time, Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively were frequent attendees at this event in the past, but they’ve been absent since 2022. That year, Blake showcased a dress inspired by the Statue of Liberty for the “In America: An Anthology of Fashion” theme.
As a devoted admirer, I can’t help but miss being part of the event that the charming family – with their lovely children James, 10; Inez, 8; Betty, 5; and Olin, 2 – usually grace. Despite their absence this year, I fondly remember Blake’s heartfelt admiration for this annual gathering that they have graced in the past.
In a post from May 2020, the 37-year-old expressed that when her past Met Gala outfits harmonized with the event’s themes, it was like the carpet coordinated with the Blakes. She referred to the Met Balls in 2018, 2017, and 2016.
Speaking of other stars you were eager to see adorned in their finery on their first Monday in May, there are quite a few Hollywood figures who have often decided to skip the celebration altogether. For instance, Jennifer Garner once told Vogue last year that the event felt a bit intimidating for her during her one and only visit back in 2007.
In contrast, notable stars such as Meryl Streep and Ryan Gosling have consistently chosen not to attend the ball. While Eva Mendes, Gosling’s longtime companion, generally opts for a quieter presence, Streep was set to make her first appearance in 2020, serving as a co-chair. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the event for the Costume Institute’s “About Time” theme had to be postponed that year.
